War Photographer's Notebook

Chapter 154 We Steal Dogs!

"Could it be that the drugs are hidden in that tin house?" Wei Ran put away his binoculars and fell into deep thought.At the same time, the SUV also restarted and drove back to the campus after leaving the playground.

"Victor, that car is back again, did you find anything just now?" Jima asked curiously on the radio.

"There is a tin house on the playground, and he exchanged two basketballs from there." Wei Ran answered truthfully.

"Is it there?"

"I don't think it's possible." Wei Ran shook his head and said while observing the surrounding scenery, "Wait a little longer, and we have to find a way to find out who the owner of that car is."

"Leave this to me!" Jima responded over the radio.

"Be careful. Besides, we will split up tonight. You keep an eye on that car, and I keep an eye on the playground."

"no problem!"

After receiving Ji Ma's response, Wei Ran walked to the side of the road, waited for more than ten minutes, took a taxi and rushed back to the neighborhood of the high-end apartment, drove a rented off-road vehicle, bought some food and drink, Then he drove back to the side of the road near the playground.

The time of the day flies by, and the bustling campus during the day quickly clears up with the ringing of the bell.Ji Ma, who had been waiting at the school gate, also managed to get the identity of the owner of the car.

"I asked a few students who study in this school. The owner of that car is a physical education teacher working here, and his name is Sergey."

"Has he left now?" Wei Ran raised his binoculars and asked Jima on the other end of the phone while staring at the playground under the sunset.

"Following, he's back to that apartment." Jima spoke at the same time as the sound of the door opening, "Do you want me to follow and see where he lives?"

"No need," Wei Ran said quickly, "See if he will go out tonight, and if he doesn't go out, let's talk."

"Okay!" Hearing this, Ji Ma immediately closed the car door that had just been opened.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ran started the car and drove it to the parking lot on the opposite side of the amusement park gate and continued to stare in the direction of the playground through the binoculars.

During the long day, the iron house by the playground was only opened by the students during a few physical education classes, and they only took out footballs or volleyballs, and put them in immediately after class. Nothing unusual.

As night fell, the whole city gradually quieted down. When the time came to midnight, there was still no movement on Wei Ran's side. Until four or five o'clock in the morning, news came from Ji Ma's side again.

"Victor, that car is moving again, and it's still in the direction of the Presidential Bridge."

"Are you following him?" Wei Ran asked with a telescope in one hand and a cell phone in the other.

"I've been following him all the time." Jima responded and explained in detail, "I followed him with a location across the street, so he couldn't see me."

"Be careful," Wei Ran warned, and raised the binoculars again.

However, to their surprise, until the sky became bright again, the car Ji Ma followed the car all night and went to the playground to change a basketball again like yesterday, but Wei Ran, who had been waiting all night, did not find anything. People approached the tin house after dark.

It can't be a student who takes physical education class during the day, right?

Wei Ran muttered to himself, but he immediately denied his point of view. Not too many people will participate in this kind of thing, and those students cannot have physical education classes every day. If they really use basketball to trade reading materials, there are uncontrollable factors That's too much.

and many more!Wei Ran was startled, and suddenly realized that he and Ji Ma seemed to have missed something.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out his tablet and began to check the trajectory of the car of the blonde woman who followed him first.

After this search, he did not expect to find out the clues. In the early hours of yesterday and this morning, after the car traded on the Presidential Bridge and the black SUV they had been following since then, it stopped briefly at a location opposite the bridge. minutes or so!

"Ji Ma, you are watching at the gate of the school, I'll go to other places to see." Wei Ran dialed Ji Ma's phone, started the car while talking, and left the parking lot at the entrance of the amusement park.

"Ok"

On the other end of the phone, Jima responded with a yawn that in the past few days in Ulyanovsk, no matter whether he or Wei Ran, he has hardly slept a sound sleep, all because the owner of the black car was at school during the day. It's time to catch up on sleep during class.

Bracing himself, Wei Ran drove all the way north. After crossing the Presidential Bridge, with the help of navigation, he finally drove to the gate of a funeral parlor on the east bank of the Volga River.

This funeral parlor is next to a crossroad. A row of oak trees planted at the entrance has lost all their leaves. Diagonally opposite the intersection is a large stadium.

Not daring to step on the brakes, Wei Ran continued to drive the car through the intersection, and ran along the road leading to nowhere without a trace.

He casually stopped at the entrance of a small supermarket, and Wei Ran dialed Jima's phone number, "You continue to stare at that physical education teacher named Sergey there."

"What about you?" Jima asked with a yawn.

"I'll go back early tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, Wei Ran hung up the phone, and found a nearby hotel to stay at random.

After taking a good bath and sleeping, when he woke up again, the sunset outside the window had dyed most of the sky red.

Going downstairs, he found a small restaurant to fill his stomach. Wei Ran went back to the hotel to set the alarm clock, and then continued to lie on the bed.

Until four o'clock in the morning, after he was woken up by the alarm clock, he immediately left the hotel quietly and drove to the other side of the stadium.Stepping on the roof of the off-road vehicle and flipping into the stadium, Wei Ran walked through the stadium under the cover of night, climbed up the stepped stands, and then saw the intersection next to the funeral parlor.

Under his patient waiting, at [-]:[-] in the morning, a red car and a black station wagon came from two opposite directions, and they stopped at the door of the funeral home tacitly.

No one got out of the car at all, and the windows of two cars stopped at the same time were opened, and then a backpack was sent from the black car to the red car.

Under Wei Ran's peeping, the red car turned eastward at the intersection and disappeared, while the black car turned around and drove towards the south.

Seeing the car passing through the intersection, Wei Ran, who was hiding in the stands, took out his mobile phone to look at the electronic map, put away his binoculars, called Jima, and ran to the opposite side of the stadium.

"Jima, where are you?"

"Just followed that car back to that apartment." Jima replied immediately.

"Go to the bridge in the south of the city as fast as you can." While Wei Ran was speaking, he was panting and ran to the place where he had just climbed over the wall.

"Immediately!" Ji Ma put down the phone, started the car immediately, stepped on the accelerator hard and rushed out.

After hanging up the phone, Wei Ran climbed over the fence with the rope reserved in advance, immediately started the car, and followed the faintly visible lights at the end of the road to catch up.

As the car moved forward, the buildings on both sides suddenly decreased, and then we saw the wide Volga River.And the car lights that he had been following from afar also drove onto the old bridge across the Volga River.

Not daring to get too close, Wei Ran called Ji Ma again. Fortunately, the latter was not too far away and was already waiting at the other end of the bridge.

With the mutual cooperation of the two, when the car driven by Wei Ran also crossed this bridge with a relatively longer history, Ji Ma also quietly posted the target that the former had been following.

But what they didn't expect was that after returning to the city, this car also drove into the underground parking lot of that apartment!

"What's going on?" Ji Ma, with two dark circles under his eyes, got into Wei Ran's car and asked.

"One is in charge of collecting money, and the other is in charge of delivery." Wei Ran said simply and directly.

"What do you mean?" Ji Mami, who had barely slept in the past few days, lit a cigarette and asked in a daze.

"The gym teacher Sergey you follow is in charge of collecting the money"

Wei Ran declined the other party's cigarettes politely, "The car we followed just now is in charge of delivering the goods."

"But where did his goods come from?" Ji Ma asked in a cloud of mist, "What's going on at the playground?"

"The playground is probably a trap. Whether it's us or the police, once they go to the school's iron house to check, not only will they get nothing, but they will also alarm the physical education teacher Sergey. Not only will he be fine, but he will be killed." Even the unique products hidden in other places will be safe. I even have a hunch that even if the police bring drug-sniffer dogs to check the physical education teacher's car, there will probably be no problems."

Speaking of this, Wei Ran twitched his chin in the direction of the apartment, "As for where the unique product comes from, just wait, I think we will know tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Want to wait another night?" Jima said with a bitter face, "Our tourists will arrive in Kazan on the 18th, and we don't have much time to waste."

"No way." Wei Ran spread his hands, he was in no hurry, but all he could do now was wait patiently.

Hearing this, Ji Ma sighed helplessly, "Do you want me to put a mobile phone in that car?"

"No need." Wei Ran shook his head, "After dawn, you can rent a car and try to buy two stun guns or veterinary anesthesia needles to avoid accidents when catching dogs."

Ji Ma nodded, lowered the back of the seat, and snored within 2 minutes.

After sleeping until the afternoon, the refreshed Ji Ma ran to the other side of the city and rented a car of the same model as the car, parked two streets away and waited.Wei Ran, who had been in the car all the time, tried his best to wait patiently for the car to leave the apartment again.

During the long wait, night fell again. As the pedestrians and cars on the road became less and less, the black car they had been waiting for all day finally drove out of the underground parking lot!
"Jima, I'm heading in your direction."

Wei Ran, who was drowsy, woke up immediately, and reminded the other party with his mobile phone. The anxious latter, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately started the car and drove slowly along the road until he was overtaken by the black car behind him. , then he stepped on the accelerator heavily as if he was irritated, and even honked the horn provocatively when he passed the opponent.

Originally, it was just a risky attempt, but Ji Ma didn't even expect that the other party actually responded.And after having a justifiable excuse to follow, the two cars also chased each other to the direction of the old bridge across the Volga River in the south of the city.

Seeing that the distance to the bridge was getting closer and closer, the car that had been far ahead under Jima's intentional release of water stepped on the brakes before getting on the bridge. Thumb, then left the road and drove to a small pier.

Ji Ma rolled down the car window and spat, then notified Wei Ran, stepped on the accelerator again, drove the car to the bridge and stopped, turned off the lights, and held up the binoculars to look at the car on the pier.

Not long after, Wei Ran also drove over, and Jima immediately pointed to the lights of the lights on the pier and said, "They moved some things from that boat."

"It seems that's it." Wei Ran raised his binoculars and glanced at the car that started to turn around, "Go back and rest first, and we'll come back after dawn."

"Daytime?" Ji Ma looked at Wei Ran unexpectedly.

"Of course it's daytime." Wei Ran got into the car while speaking, "Otherwise, if someone kills him and sinks into the Volga River, he will have to wait until the river is unsealed to be discovered next year."

"That's right." Ji Ma grinned with an expression of sudden realization, got into the car without saying a word, made a neat U-turn and drove back to the city, and found a hotel to stay at random.

Sleeping until the afternoon of that day, until the sun went down, the two brothers, who were full of energy, put on a disguise and took a car straight to the pier they discovered last night.

It can be clearly seen in the warm sunshine that there are several unemployed sightseeing yachts docked near the only two trestles.And not far away, there is a small-scale kayak club and a nursing home surrounded by walls.It's just that in this season, the river is almost completely frozen, and naturally no psychopath will come here to kayak.

Just when they were about to get a closer look at the tricky yacht, a husky's wolf howl came from the river bank, and then they heard a man angrily cursing.

The two looked for their reputation, and at a glance, they saw a fat and strong husky running on the freshly frozen ice, and standing on the shore was a middle-aged man with a beer belly.

"Gorbachev, come back if you don't want to die, you idiot!"

While cursing, the man bent down, picked up a stone and threw it at the husky, but he didn't expect this idiot to chase the stone, stepping on the fragile ice and running closer to the center of the river!

"This name really matches that silly dog." Ji Ma couldn't help but joked, his face was already full of surprise.

"We're not going to just take that silly dog ​​back, are we?"

Wei Ran, who also looked surprised, asked in a low voice, because the beer belly standing on the bank was the cavalryman Gorman they had been looking for!

"What now?" Jima asked, putting down the binoculars.

"What else can I do?" While Wei Ran was speaking, he had already taken out the stun gun from his bag, "Grab it first and then talk."

"Human or dog?" While speaking, Ji Ma also took out the stun gun he bought yesterday.

Wei Ran walked in the direction of the middle-aged man and said as a matter of course, "Do you still need to ask? Of course both people and dogs will be caught! Let's hurry up, or the silly dog ​​will be in trouble if he falls into the river."

Before the words were finished, Wei Ran had already quickened his pace and ran towards the cavalryman Gorman who was angry with the dog, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Sir, do you need help?"

Gorman, who had a beer belly, turned around when he heard the words, and seeing Wei Ran and Jima running up to him, he subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

"We are stealing dogs!"

While Wei Ran was speaking, he directly pulled the stun gun hidden in his cuff. Driven by the compressed gas, the two electric needles connected to the wires easily passed through the down jacket worn by Cavalry Gorman and ruthlessly penetrated into the flesh. .

Stimulated by the strong electric current, the latter lay upright on the gravel-filled shore, trembling. Seeing this, the silly dog ​​immediately raised its bright red tongue and wagged its big fluffy tail happily. ran over.
